Abstract: La présente invention concerne un chalumeau à arc de plasma comportant un corps de chalumeau présentant une buse montée par rapport à une électrode composite dans le corps pour délimiter une enceinte de plasma. Le corps de chalumeau comprend une chemin de flux de plasma permettant de diriger un gaz plasma vers l'enceinte de plasma dans laquelle un arc de plasma est formé. La buse comporte un portion de corps creuse et une portion de corps pleine, une portion de tête définissant un orifice de sortie. L'électrode composite peut être réalisée en un matériau métallique (par exemple, l'argent) présentant une conductivité thermique élevée dans la portion avant du corps d'électrode adjacente à la surface d'émission, et la portion arrière de corps d'électrode est réalisée en un matériau métallique peu coûteux présentant une bonne conductivité thermique et électrique. Cette configuration d'électrode composite permet d'obtenir une électrode à usure à piqûre d'électrode réduites comparable à une électrode en argent, pour un coût comparable à celui d'une électrode en cuivre.

Abstract: Event driven methods for implementing or removing a filter used in receiving a multicast transmission are disclosed. An exemplary method for implementing a filter includes: detecting a message, such as an IPv6 MLD message, wherein the message comprises an address of a multicast group and a request to join the multicast group to receive a multicast transmission; in response to detecting the message, determining a filter parameter (e.g., a PID number and/or MAC address) needed to receive the multicast transmission; and implementing the filter parameter to receive the multicast transmission. Alternative methods wherein filter implementation or removal is based on the detection of direct procedure calls, such as a Setsockopt call, are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the application of Blind Source Separation (BSS), specifically independent Component Analysis (ICA) to mixture signals obtained by a pulse oximeter sensor. In pulse oximetry, the signals measured at different wavelengths represent the mixture signals, while the plethysmographic signal, motion artifact, respiratory artifact and instrumental noise represent the source components. The BSS is carried out by a two-step method including an ICA. In the first step, the method uses Principal Component Analysis (PCA) as a preprocessing step, and the Principal Components are then used to derive sat and the Independent Components, where the Independent Components are determined in a second step. In one embodiment, the independent components are obtained by high-order decorrelation of the principal components, achieved by maximizing the sum of the squares of the higher-order cumulants of the plurality of mixture signals.

Abstract: The method of gas shielded arc welding steel railroad rails involves the steps of filling the base gap, the web gap and the head gap with a molten steel from a filler metal electrode by a gas shielded electric arc process. The filling of the head gap involves continuously sequentially moving the electrode in laterally opposite directions in the head gap along paths having starting and ending ends in the corresponding one of the opposite directions for laying beads of filler metal along the paths. Another step is delaying movement of the electrode from the starting end of each the path for a preselected period of time.

central portion of the slot (110). A carrier member (16) is
pivotally coupled to the housing (12) about a pivot pin (32).
A lever (18) has a shaft (19, 21) which is supported by the
carrier (16) and which is rotatable and axially movable
relative to the carrier (16). The lever (18) has a knob (17)
which is mounted on an end of the shaft (19, 21) and which is

any print offset. A position where index information
(Section 1 - Section 5) is to be printed on each tab
portion of a tab sheet set (300) (constituted by, e.g.,
five sheets) is set first. Index information is then
printed in advance on a test printing sheet (310)
(opaque sheet), together with boundary lines (L1 - L3)
indicating a print area, on the basis of the setting
value. When a print offset amount in the horizontal
direction is to be measured, a boundary line (L2) of
the test printing sheet (310) is superimposed on the
right end (iii) of an index area of the tab sheet set
(300), and the distance (print offset amount) between
an extension line (ii) of the boundary line (L2) and
the left end (i) of the index area is measured. The
index information (Section 1 - Section 5) can be
properly printed on the tab sheet set (300) upon
resetting of the setting values by using the
measurement value.
